Thoughts on Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Motivation

Thirty ways, entrepreneurs are similar to rock stars

Rock stars are known for their unmindful ways. They are reckless, full of ego and troublesome. On the other hand rockstars are brands in themselves, highly talented, hardworking professionals too.They rake in tonnes of money by creating songs and plays that others cannot even imagine. They are very creative and captivate crowds. They are reckless with money and often are penniless in the end. This is not to praise or demean them but to see them as they are. They are the risk takers, crowd pullers and they have a huge fan following.

entrepreneurs are similar to rock stars

An entrepreneur is not very different from a rockstar. Let us list out some of the similiraties between the two.

Rockstars and Entrepreneurs are creators of ideas

They are risk takers.

They always go into areas where no one has gone before

They develop their own style and create differentiation for their products

Most of the time they go against established social norms, culture and beliefs

They inspire thousands of followers to be like them

When they become successful they earn unprecedented wealth

They never worry if their product does not work. They continue developing their core strengths

They never say no to any exciting idea

They know their crowds well , how to woo them and keep them

They most of the time start as individuals or group of people without any backing and then make it big

They believe in their instincts

They never say “I am not going to be successful”

They are extremely rash with cash and need managers to maintain their money

They do have a lot of ego

They never say “enough”. They change with time and adapt

They live life for today and never care for tomorrow

They believe in themselves and their team

They are survivors

They always do plan ahead. A good concert is same as a good product or service

For a rockstar, fan base is everything. For an entrepreneur loyal customer base is everything.

They always deliver the same consistent performance or product in whatever or whichever condition

They can tell the pulse of audience or customer by listening to them

They work with their teams to reach their goals

They are powerful personal brand in addition to their bands/companies

They often meet customers and fans in order to get feedback about their products or music

They are not afraid to experiment

They always work with passion and commitment

And and and….

Finally they are always full of energy

Interesting comparison and I love the way you have pointed out the similarities between both. I am not so huge fan of rockstars. Very rarely, I find time for all these…anyways, I learned something from your post. Keep writing :)
